SANATOGA PA – The 2011 edition of Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township‘s series of summer musical concerts is scheduled to open Sunday (June 26) with a return performance by the Bill Koss Combo, beginning at 6 p.m. at the band shell in Sanatoga Park, 223 S. Sanatoga Rd., Pottstown PA. The concert is free and open to the public.

The Bill Koss Combo

The combo frequently plays locally, and offers a variety of music to suit almost every interest. The grounds of the slope surrounding the band shell are comfortable on most evenings; concert-goers are urged to bring their own seating in the form of lawn chairs or ground blankets. The acoustics are good, too, and guests who position themselves just right can enjoy the show while watching nature’s progress on the nearby lake.

In case of rain, the concert will be re-scheduled to Monday (June 27) at 7 p.m. Again this year, the series is sponsored by Exelon Nuclear, and conducted by the township Parks and Recreation Board.

• July 13 (Wednesday), 7 p.m., the U.S. Army Band;
• July 17 (Sunday), 6 p.m., family fun night with The Paisley Pickles;
• July 24 (Sunday), 6 p.m., Barbone Street Jazz Band;
